Ryan, 54, told EW she was grateful to the "Sully" star for making time to film his small part in the film, a World War II drama that also stars her son Jack Quaid, 24, whose dad is Ryan's ex-husband, actor Dennis Quaid.

"It took [Hanks] a day to [shoot his scene]. At the end of his time, he says to the crew, 'All right, gather ‘round. Listen, I know we’ve gotten to know each other very well over the last 10 hours together, but I just want to thank you for being here for my friend Meg,'" said the actress.
